A great day of beach hunting at one of my favorite beach spots off NJ produced some great pulls. The banner taget was a Charles III 1772 Spanish 1 Reales in great shape, at least on the reverse. I also pulled a nice 1914 Barber Quarter, a few Buffalo nickels, and a fantastic skeleton key hole plate, likely off a sunken ship from the 1800's, and plenty of recent silver and clad.... Happy Hunting! JB

Great find with that Reale!
 

Great hunt for sure. Congrats on the Spanish. Some great coins. I'm hoping to be able to mark off the elusive Barber quarter off my bucket list this year.
